Video Content Targeting & Real Video Categorization

What is Video Content Targeting?

Veenome Contexial Targeting is a classification and targeting API that takes millions of impressions a day and automatically assigns them categories like: automotive, technology etc. The taxonomy or structure of those categories can be defined by our customers. Some use IAB categories, some use YouTube categories while others provide their own custom categories. These categories get used for contextual targeting, auditing, curation and simple business intelligence.
